worried about conceiving too soon after d&c

Hi all, I've done immeasurable research online but can't seem to find a set answer on this....I unfortunately had to have a D&C about 4 days ago and I'm assuming it went well because I only lightly bled for a few hours after the procedure and since then up till now day 4 afterwards no bleeding or cramping or pain and in fact now having normal white discharge. Losing my (thought he was 9 weeks but just found out he was 11) baby was horrific and I want a healthy happy child more than anything else but am horrified to risk trying too soon and having another miscarriage. I have been staying up in Michigan with family over the holidays but leave for Oklahoma where my fiancee and i live tomorrow and I'm wondering is it really dangerous to be trying so soon after the D&C? like....will my womb not be healed up enough to have a healthy baby? thanks all

Hi! I miscarried two weeks ago. I was 8 weeks. The doctor told me nothing goes in for at least two weeks. And I just went for a follow up on Thursday and the doctor told me to wait at least two cycles before trying again. Also, I still have hcg in my system and she wants that to go to negative as well. When I miscarried it was at 10,200. Thursday it was at 103. I’m gonna test again this Thursday and hopefully it’s completely out. Not sure if this helped!
